Ingredients
Method
- Prepare the Arugula: Thoroughly wash the arugula under cold water. Pat it dry gently with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
- Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Dress the Arugula: Place the arugula in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the arugula and toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shaved Parmesan and toasted pine nuts over the salad. Toss lightly again to combine.
- Serve Immediately: Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy fresh.
Notes
For a richer flavor, let the vinaigrette sit for a few minutes before tossing it with the arugula.
Add cherry tomatoes or thinly sliced red onions for a colorful twist.
Serve as a side dish with grilled meats or enjoy as a light, refreshing meal on its own.
